Emergency patients receive an innovative treatment method courtesy of Siloah St. Trudpert
Starting April 2, 2025, an emergency center has been established in the foyer of Siloah St. Trudpert, a clinic in Germany. This new setup aims to streamline the triage process for mobile emergency patients. Upon registration by trained nursing staff in one of the two cabins, an initial assessment of the patient's emergency is conducted.
Digital, guided questionnaires are utilized to inquire about symptoms and complaints. Based on the assessment, urgent cases, such as impending heart attacks, are moved directly to the central emergency room. Lesser emergencies that can be addressed by a general practitioner are referred to the emergency practice located in the clinic's basement. This practice is staffed by general or specialist doctors, available from specific hours.
According to Dr. med. Cornelius Ehmann, the clinic's chief physician of acute and emergency medicine, this new setup is intended to direct patients to the appropriate treatment facility more efficiently, thereby managing patient flow better during KV (Kassenärztliche Vereinigung) practice hours. This move aims to save time for both patients and healthcare providers. After the quick initial assessment, patients are either treated in the KV emergency practice or moved to the emergency room, depending on the nature of their condition.
While general practices in healthcare facilities often include emergency centers in their lobbies to prioritize urgent cases, reduce waiting room congestion, and streamline access for patients needing immediate attention, the specific impact of this particular setup on patient flow during KV practice hours at Siloah St. Trudpert Clinic is not extensively documented in widely available public sources or search results. For precise operational details about this clinic, contacting the clinic directly is advisable.

- By efficiently directing patients with various medical-conditions to the appropriate treatment facility, whether the KV (Kassenärztliche Vereinigung) emergency practice or the central emergency room, the goal of the new setup in science and health-and-wellness at Siloah St. Trudpert Clinic is to save time for both patients and healthcare providers.
